Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for diffusing volatile liquids having a significant utility and being user friendly.
  • the liquid may be a deodorant, a perfume or an essence possibly mixed with other substances such as moth-repellents, insect-repellents, insecticides and so forth.
  • the present invention brilliantly solves these problems, providing for a practical, strong container harmless for persons and objects, where the user may also carry out any desired dosage of the liquid to be delivered.
  • the container of the instant invention may be used either leaning on a plane or suspended by a string and therefore for vehicles and houses as well.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings and described hereinafter relates to the suspended use, for instance on the driving mirror of a motor vehicle or the clothing hanging bar of a wardrobe, but the container is not limited to this use and it can also be placed on a plane, preferably removing the hanging string.
  • the container according to the present invention comprises a small bottle 1 preferably made of glass or transparent plastics, having an externally threaded neck 2 and a stopper 3.
  • the liquid 4 to be diffused into the environment is filled in the bottle 1, the liquid being a deodorant, a perfume or other fluid possibly added with insect-repellents, moth-repellents and so forth.
  • the bottle 1 may also be provided with a seat 5 for its application on a support or with a piece of adhesive material to stick it on a plane.
  • a cover 6 is placed on the bottle 1.
  • Said cover 6 is provided with an open bottom and the top end has an opening 8 for passage of the neck 2 of the bottle 1, that is also provided with openings 7 allowing to check the level of liquid contained in the bottle, both when such level is high and is low, close to its exhaustion.
  • cover 6 does not extend to the bottom of the bottle, to avoid that the delivered liquid stains or fouls the support plane when the bottle is used at home.
  • An internally threaded closure cap 9 is screwed on the threaded neck 2 of the bottle, so that the cap bottom meets the cover top.
  • the closure cap 9 At the top of the closure cap 9 there is a through hole 10 to apply an eyelet 12 for passage of a string 11 to be used for instance when the container must be suspended for instance to the driving mirror of a vehicle or inside a wardrobe. Moreover, the cover 6 avoids that the bottle 1 hits the windshield glass with consequent risk of damage.
  • the string 11 has the only function of suspension element, because it has no direct contact with the closure cap 9, cannot be impregnated with liquid, thus does not diffuse said liquid.
  • the container is also provided with a drawing tube 13 inserted into the bottle 1 until its rim 14 leans on the neck mouth 2.
  • the tube 13 closed by the stopper 3 allows to use and dose better the liquid of the bottle, up to the last droplet thanks to the slot 15 made on the tube at the connection point between the body and the neck of the bottle.
  • the contents of the bottle may be easily dosed, has a longer duration and is fully delivered up to its complete exhaustion, as the slot 15 allows to collect even the last droplet of the liquid.
  • the pipe 13 reduces evaporation of the contents, reducing its consumption.
  • Said pipe 13 may be made of any suitable material and preferably a non absorbent plastic material.
  • the drawing tube 13 has a stepped shape, with a first upper portion 13a sealing the mouth of neck 2 of bottle 1, a middle semicircular portion 13b aiding the tube to slide when introduced into the neck 2, and then the lower tube body depending in the liquid 4 contained in the bottle.
  • cover 6 and the closure cap 9 may be made of various materials.
  • a preferred material is soft wood which can be easily impregnated by the liquid delivered by the bottle, but also several plastics may be used, whether or not adapted to be impregnated.
  • cover and/or closure cap might be made or coated with a photocromic or thermocromic substance, absorbing the energy of the daylight and emitting it in the dark as luminescence, so that the container would be easily retrieved for instance inside the compartment of a vehicle.
  • closure cap 9 is removed and the stopper 3 is removed. Then the closure cap is again screwed on the cover and the container is tilted or shaken shortly, so that a little quantity of liquid will be delivered and impregnate the cap 9 and the cover 6, when they are made of a material that can be impregnated by the liquid such as soft wood.
  • the stopper 3 may also be finally removed and discarded, or it could be provided with a tear off or punching opening to further limit the liquid delivery, or with a little pad to be impregnated for liquid diffusion, if cover and cap are made of a non impregnated material.
